I took some time to do a bit of crafting today. I've had this very old piece of a wooden fence, complete with its original hardware, hanging in my workroom for several years now. Normally, a simple grapevine wreath hangs on it. Today I wanted to try something different, so I found a great typography I could use to transfer it onto the wood. It didn't turn out well as I had hoped, but I actually like that bits and pieces of it are faded - it adds to the aged/worn/tattered/rustic look. The boards on the fence curve downward so it was hard to apply the typography transfer. My next attempt at this will be on a flat surface, or perhaps a pot. :)

I'm a bargainista and a self-proclaimed DIY'er who's enthusiastically eclectic, a relentlessly rustic retriever, vehemently vintage, the frugalest of frugals and a fool for flea markets, yard and estate sales.

I have a stupendous multiplicity of love for my family and friends, and I revel in the wonderful and humorous antics of our pup, Enzo!

Oh, and there's a grand ol' nook in my heart for the military men and women - [special salute to my son!].

I believe one of the keys to happiness in life is to have an unselfish work to do...and the power and passion to do it!
